FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How long does the dehumidification and drying process typically take?
The duration varies depending on the extent of moisture, affected materials, and environmental conditions. Most residential projects are completed within 3-5 days. However, larger commercial spaces or severe water damage may require more time. We monitor the process daily and provide regular updates on the progress.
Will your dehumidification equipment be noisy or disruptive?
Our industrial-grade dehumidifiers and air movers do produce some noise during operation. While we strive to minimize disruption, continuous operation is necessary for efficient drying. We'll discuss equipment placement with you to balance effectiveness and your comfort. Many clients find that the background noise becomes less noticeable after a day or two.
Can I stay in my home during the dehumidification process?
In most cases, you can remain in your home during the process, especially if only a portion of your property is affected. However, for extensive moisture issues or if the entire property needs treatment, temporary relocation might be recommended. We'll advise you on the best course of action based on your specific situation and ensure you can access essential areas safely.
How do you ensure that all the moisture is removed, even from hidden areas?
We use a combination of advanced moisture detection tools, including thermal imaging cameras, moisture meters, and thermo-hygrometers. These tools allow us to locate and measure moisture in hidden areas like wall cavities and under flooring. We continually monitor these areas throughout the drying process to ensure thorough moisture removal.
Will your dehumidification process damage my belongings or building materials?
Our professional dehumidification process is designed to dry your property and belongings safely. We use controlled drying techniques that minimize the risk of damage. In fact, quick and proper drying often prevents further damage that could occur if moisture were left untreated. We'll advise you if any items need special handling or if any materials are beyond salvaging due to existing water damage.
